I feel this is an example of convenience since Mimi is using her classmates as sampling rather than using a random method. Could you please offer some insight and clarification to be sure I'm on the right track? Thank you! Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):

Yes, her classmates are a little too convenient..regardless of the population
(which is not clear)
* Convenience sample - is characterized by the selection of easy to obtain members from the population. (typically not a worthwhile style for a sampling technique)
- A systematic sample is chosen on the basis of an ordered system.
– A cluster sample involves using a simple random sample of evident groups that the population contains.
- A stratified sample results when a population is split into at least two non-overlapping sub-populations.
